You want RARP but I doubt it is well supported anymore. If the MAC is on the local LAN just do a -sP for all IPs and check your ARP table afterwards. If the MAC is elsewhere you could try to find it with NetBIOS. You could also try to use SNMP to query all your local router's ARP tables for it.
For the most part though there is NO generic way to to locate the IP for an arbitrary MAC.

I tried arping but I got an error. unknown host <mac address>Besides I tried to run nmap A T4 ip-range. According to nmap example 15.1 in the output appears the mac address. Unfortunately I didn't receive the macaddress. I know the mac and want to see the relevant ip.

I don't havetheip.The scans in Nmap are tcp, udp, and ip-protocol, all of which require a destination IP. You would have to resolve that mac into an IP for nmap.
